Adjusting Your Power Settings for Maximum Clouds

Adjusting Your Power Settings for Maximum Clouds

The simple lesson you need to learn is more power means more smoke 

If you vape  at 70 W you’ll get much bigger clouds than when you’re vaping at 40 W, as long as it’s with the same tank and e-juice. It simple (any one could do it), but there are a couple of other things you must know before you go cranking it up to 90W and up to 100W.

When you increase the power going to the coil (in your clearomiser), you increase the amount of heat generated, which is one of the reasons you need that extra airflow.

Some vaping folk do like hotter vapour than others, but most will want to counterbalance that heat with some extra air. There is no right or wrong way to vape, though, so just experiment and see what you vape

But the decision to increase airflow has other consequences too. The airflow plays an important role in the tightness of the draw. Less air will give more resistance, more air will give an airier vape.

Again, vapers’ preferences for airflow vary, so you should experiment a little to find what you like.

To choose a specific power setting, you need to consider your choice of tank too.

Although you should use a sub ohm clearomizer (which can all cope with higher power) for cloud-chasing, not all of the coils in your clearomizer are rated for the same power settings. The suggested settings are usually printed on the coil itself, and these are a good guide to the power you can put through them.

The guidelines are there for a reason. It usually struggles with wicking or the vapour gets uncomfortably hot towards the upper end.

However, they aren’t set in stone, so if you find yourself wanting more vapour, you can always try out some higher settings. We don’t recommend going too far above the recommendation (you’ll probably get some dry hits), but really it’s all about your preferences.

The bottom line is; for big clouds, you want maximum airflow and plenty of power.  This is where regulated mods and big batteries come in.
